| The
complete edition of World History and You, by Vivian Bernstein includes a
2-textbook soft cover set, with book1 and 2 together making a
complete school year curriculum. There is also a 48 page Teacher's Guide which can be purchased as part
of the complete set or purchased separately. Appropriate for
3rd - 4th grade students. This text
begins in ancient Egypt, the middle east, India, and China going back to the year 3750 BC
with the earliest recorded history. It ends with a look at the global economy of the
1990's.
Chapter content is kept short, 2 to 4 pages,
to help young learners stay involved. Each of the 47 chapters provides a highlight of
several key things to think about, several new vocabulary words introduced in that
chapter, and new people and places introduced. Each chapter includes a one page biography
called "People in History."

notebook in which they will complete various writing assignments at the end of each
chapter. The following exercises are provided at the end of each chapter:
- Using Vocabulary - a fill in the blank
exercise
